Hi guys, Eddan suggested someone on the Sudo list knows how to weld and has access to equipment. I have a couple of vintage chairs that need some repair - the weld holding the legs together has popped off. Email me off list if you can help. I'd like to hire you.

Sudo Square

by Eddan Katz

Hi all - I wanted to ask a flash-mob like favor from folks coming to Sudo Room this evening. Over the summer, several of us created the Sudo Square page at Foursquare (https://foursquare.com/v/sudo-square/50074796e4b092cb5fe8c83d) and Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sudo-Square/351059718301717) as part of a plan to name the plaza at the intersection of Broadway, 19th, & Franklin. Can you please check-in on your way in? It's a lovely day and the Punchdown (http://www.punchdownwine.com/) already put out the outdoor table seating. I'll be hanging out there until the meeting and will remind Sudo folk I see. Given the democratization of nomenclature afforded by geo-located mobile computing, I thought it most appropriate to have some kind of coordinated crowd in-checking initiative. There are some pictures, but it's a placeholder so far. So far as we know (& the Oakland Wiki folks could correct us), the square does not yet have a name. So not just today - but anytime - when you're passing by 22nd & Broadway and you're itching to check in on Facebook or Foursquare, or Yelp, or however it is you go about telling the world instantaneously where you are - please check in at Sudo Square - often and tell your friends about it too. I am also now trying to compile a list of the existing sites & services use for geo-located check-in fun - so let me know if you know of others. Perhaps during one of the upcoming Art Murmurs - we can have an official check-in dedication ceremony - we can invite the mayor. sent from eddan.com

Ex-cheque-ing / can't make it tonight + a proposal re: reimbursing Max for (upcoming) internet costs

by Tommy York

I can't make the meeting tonight - I apologize! - but I would like to propose that we discuss writing a check for the internet costs to Max Klein. As far as I know the facts: We don't currently have a VISA / MasterCard account, which is necessary to have an account with Sonic, so Max has been paying with his own card. I'd like to write him a check for the internet this month. Once we're in a better position in terms of solvency / reserves, I'd like to discuss reimbursing him for the internet costs, but I don't think we're in a position to do that just yet. As far as the spreadsheets, I'm trying to get our account data from Community Bank of the Bay so I can go back through the last three months' columns in the solvency spreadsheet - the one shared with everyone - and update the balance information. There's currently a single spreadsheet for donations / membership dues - also shared with everyone - so please use it if you've collected any dues and deposited them into our account. I'd like it to reflect _all_ transactions as of April, though I realize that going back and entering in this retroactively may be nigh impossible. I'd like to have a discussion about how best to handle membership / access... it's my vision that some piece of software can generate an "active" membership list - of those members who've paid for the current month - and that this membership list will be accessible by the software that handles access to the space. What policies would revolve around that - who would get access, for which months, when, with what system etc. - I leave up to consensus. If any of our fundraising visions are any closer to fruition - t-shirt printing, sudo-club-mate, etc. - please keep me in the loop! - tommy ----------------- Thomas Riley York (杨德民) 510.926.0510 http://www.linkedin.com/in/tommyyork

Re: [sudo-discuss] Michael Orange - film events - Battle for Brooklyn - any sudo members interested in an intro?

We set the list up to be public in an effort to remain as transparent and open as possible. This is a blessing and a burden.

[law thread] privacy, mobile apps, innovation

by Romy Ilano

I'm starting a law-related thread, there are a lot of smart law people here. I'm a mobile app developer + a lot of people I know were at this workshop today. http://techpresident.com/news/23721/california-attorney-general-kamala-harr… California Attorney General Kamala Harris Talks Mobile Innovation, Privacy, and the Law BY SARAH LAI STIRLAND <http://techpresident.com/blog/76848> | Wednesday, April 10 2013 California Attorney General Kamala Harris on Wednesday urged mobile software developers to explain to users how their products work as clearly as possible so that there are no nasty surprises -- both on the part of the end users, and the developers who may hear from her office for privacy violations. "Let’s not stop the innovation. I don’t want to shut it down," she told a roomful of developers and businesspeople at the startup co-working office space Runway Workspace in the South of Market area of San Francisco. "But what we do have to do is to give the user information, and let the user, not anyone else, make the choice about the tradeoff." Harris spoke at an event organized by her own office, the University of California Hastings (her alma mater) and the Association for Competitive Technology, an association in Washington, D.C. that represents individual software developers who often can't afford to hire their own in-house privacy counsel. Her remarks come as the Obama administration itself is struggling to work with all kinds of stakeholders on how to best protect consumers in a world where their devices are always on, and using the attributes of personal information and location to build their businesses. Harris' office published a 20 page-plus booklet of checklists and recommendations for app developers<http://oag.ca.gov/sites/all/files/pdfs/privacy/privacy_on_the_go.pdf>to be mindful of when creating their products this January. The Electronic Frontier Foundation<https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2013/01/california-attorney-general-releases-…>, a digital rights group, praised the recommendations, but several advertising associations, including the American Association of Advertising agencies, called them "unworkable." Her office established a special privacy enforcement and protection unit last July, staffed with some high-powered lawyers, such as Travis LeBlanc, formerly a lawyer at the white-shoe law firms of Williams & Connelly in Washington, D.C., and Keker & Van Nest in San Francisco. How state attorneys general approach privacy in the digital world is of great interest to practitioners in political technology. San Francisco-based Organizer, for example, enables campaigns to track their field canvassers with GPSes on their mobile phones as they knock on doors and updates information in its voter database in real-time as volunteers collect new data. As users do more and more from their phones, mobile advertising has gained increasing attention from political campaigns. And one of the biggest innovations to come from the Obama campaign in 2012 was software that avoided potential Federal Election Commission roadblocks against collecting mobile donations by allowing donors to authorize, by text message or otherwise, a gift from their credit card account already on file. The terms of service governing these and many other applications are breaking new legal ground, and consumers are just beginning to understand how their data is shared, used, bought and sold — in politics and otherwise. Harris is an apt character to follow in the privacy debate. She may be the only attorney general in the country to have made privacy policies a campaign issue when, in 2010, she accused her then-Democratic rival Chris Kelly, Facebook's former chief privacy officer, of giving Facebook's users' information away, a charge that Kelly's campaign denied. "Some people might not mind giving up their contact list to get that mobile app, because they only have four people in it, and they don’t like them anyway," Harris joked at the event. "Me, not so much. I don’t want to give up my contact list. Let the user figure out what the benefit is before they give it up." Harris urged developers to tell their users as much as possible about how they use their information, and to give them 'tools' to let them make their choices. The Association for Competitive Technology is working on such tools, like a privacy dashboard <http://www.bitly.com/pridash> that would tell app users, through icons, what information is being collected. "I am a career prosecutor. I know the great power that we have," Harris told the audience. "I learned at a very young age in my career that with a swipe of my pen, I could charge someone with a misdemeanor, the lowest level of crime possible, and by virtue of doing that, that person would have to pick out of their pockets to hire a lawyer. They may be arrested, they may spend a couple of hours or days in jail, they’ll be embarrassed in the context of their family and community, probably have to miss time from work for court appearances – all because I charged him with a crime. It’s an incredible amount of power that we have, and we’re well aware of that." Some developers at the meeting Wednesday morning said that they weren't aware of all of the legal requirements they had to fulfill when building their apps, and some even suggested that Google wouldn't have been possible as a company had all these rules on privacy been in place at its founding, a notion that LeBlanc contested during a later panel. Jerome Starch, a developer who attended a NASA hackathon in March and who is developing an app with information from NASA to get kids interested in science, stood up after Harris left, and said her words "terrified" him. Morgan Reed, ACT's executive director, re-assured him, saying that NASA uses Privo, a service that ensures app compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. <http://www.provo.com/> Jonathan Nelson, another entrepreneur who spoke that morning, drew cheers when he said, "What I really want is privacy as a service for $5 a month."

Re: [sudo-discuss] wiki: sudoroom food hacking

by Aaronco Thirtysix

Oh, I was the one who donated the admittedly unlabeled lidded-stockpot to NB, specifically to brew kombucha there. For the one person who already responded with their "invitation" offlist, I neither prefer to come over to SR to join the groups' mate/kombucha/whatever-other-foodhacking-else brewing efforts there (whether for-profit or entirely non-profit), nor do I wish to pay a special SR visit in-person to pickup the lidded-stockpot. Much better for the SR person(s) to bring the item back to NB. Reason of personal preference, but thanks for your "invite" :-) (If lidded-stockpot not returned to NB PDQ, then fully able to and willing to revert to my own DIY brewing efforts completely separate from SR's group efforts +AND+ from NB, invitation or not, so no great loss to me either way!)

Wednesday potluck

by Raymond Lai

Hello Fellow Sudoers! Sounds like I missed some meal last Wednesday. :) >From the thread it sounds like folks might be more interested in pot lucks for Wednesday night meetings. I have no problem with that and would like to offer some fresh strawberry ice coconut cream (yes, vegan!) for tonight. Julio and I made this just sweet enough deliciousness to celebrate the return of longer days & warm weather. Sudo kitchen also has some raw ingredients which i will detail in another post a little later (this cafe has no wifi (how uncivilized)) so i am sipping a spotty connection from who knows where. Hack ur kitchens! Cheers, Ray

the value of having a conflict resolution process

by Romy Ilano

This source is a little corporate-sounding at first but well-written. I think they discuss a chamber of commerce non-profit in an unnamed city. Does anyone find this useful? I relate to many of the topics. http://www.asaecenter.org/Resources/AMMagArticleDetail.cfm?ItemNumber=557 As I indicated in Leaders Working Together, "The cornerstone assumption remains: Collaboration does not mean we all have to agree, but we do have to maintain mutual understanding." Having a process in place to deal with inevitable conflict goes a long way in assisting a board in reaching that mutual understanding and preventing destructive conflict. CPR is such a process. And, while I've seen the process work effectively, one of the first things a board must realize is that it takes time to move through the steps and volunteer board members are often resistant to working through a seemingly lengthy process that may resolve an issue or problem within the board. In response to an interview question asked during my research, board members from around the country revealed: "Resolving disputes is a priority but dispute resolution is not." Hence, board members agreed that disputes are a part of the decision-making process but, nevertheless, they do not welcome a formal dispute-resolution process. Therefore, when I introduce the notion of implementing a process to resolve a dispute, I ask participants to weigh the alternatives. In other words, how do they feel about carrying the weight of a chronic problem through every decision-making exercise as compared to taking a little time away from the regular agenda to resolve the issue thereby pulling that particular weight from the board's shoulders? Generally, participants agree that it makes sense to resolve the issue and they also discover that collaborative problem resolution is designed as a simplified model with volunteer boards in mind and is well worth the time it takes. Imagine how far ahead the chamber would be in terms of time and money if they had taken a few hours to step back and resolve the real problem at the root of its conflict.

Connecting Oakland's Top 10 Social + SudoRoom [[Oakland positive mojo synergy]]

by Romy Ilano

I reached out to Michael Orange from Top 10 social in downtown Oakland. Their events are parties, have more up and coming young African American professionals, and are all around of a different, highly complementary vibe to SudoRoom. Top 10 social has held a lot of great art benefits--gallery benefits for the family of youth murdered in Chicago (that one made me cry!), a Game Changers project for filmmakers working on microdocumentaries.They also sponsor talks on food justice and bringing healthier options to the African-American community in Oakland and other urban areas. - I'm talking to Michael Orange to see what projects would make sense for Top 10 social and Sudo Room. I've known him for a couple of years, he's a great guy. - I threw around a few ideas that were brought up by various community groups and Sudo Room Members -- sudo room people helping community workshops fixing senior citizens' computers, bike fixing workshops, etc. - I'm waiting for Michael to reply--if they have space for us I think it would be a nice complement to SudoRoom! They are great folks, and I like how they are differnet from us. They dress up a lot nicer than we do,so they could be the yang to our yin or vice versa.

In-n-Out California: Circulating Things and the Globalization of the West Coast [CfP 4/20]

by Eddan Katz

I think that many Sudo folk might have interest in submitting to this interesting looking event, especially Oakland Wiki. Paper proposals due Apr. 20. > In-n-Out California: Circulating Things and the Globalization of the West Coast > Organizers: Tiago Saraiva, Cathryn Carson, Massimo Mazzotti UC Berkeley, 5-7 September 2013 > > Co-sponsored by the UC Berkeley Office for History of Science and Technology and the Drexel University STS Center. > > Scholars interested in the history of the West Coast have thoroughly explored the material culture of California. Square tomatoes, rockets, dams, surf boards, cyclotrons, LSD, or iPods are all common ingredients in the making of historical narratives of the Golden State. Strangely enough, many such narratives have too much of a local flavor: they don’t fully acknowledge the global circulation of those things that have produced California. This workshop deals with the double process of getting things In-n-Out of California, pointing, for example, to the ways, on the one hand, that Californian agribusiness relied on a constant supply of new varieties of crops brought into the state by plant hunters crossing many disparate regions of the globe, while, on the other hand, its standardized products, be it oranges, avocados, or wine, were shipped to international markets and became cases in point in the globalization of food. We point to globalization in the double sense that those things were the result of multiple trajectories originating from all over the world converging in California, at the same time that many things found their way out of California to produce what is commonly perceived as the globalized world. We are well aware of the trickiness and looseness associated with the concept of globalization. Too frequently the buzzword is used uncritically to cover the lack of a proper understanding of concrete historical dynamics. Indeed, one of the aims of the workshop is to get some grip on globalization by exploring narratives from the ground up through the circulation of concrete things. Specifically, a quick look at the list of things we can identify with the presence of California in the world reveals the historical relevance of engineers’ and scientists’ work in putting them in circulation. It may be suggestive to think of places like laboratories as centers of circulation where things come in, are processed, and get ready to sustain new worlds. We expect spatial issues to play an important role in our discussions. We are interested in exploring the ability of California history to help us deal with the different scales involved in historical explanations at large. California has the potential to problematize taken-for-granted notions of what constitutes the local, the region, the nation, the empire, or the globe. It also promises a fertile ground for the growing community of scholars interested in transnational historical dynamics. We welcome approaches that reveal the intricate historical processes of circulating things and making California a global space. Papers dealing with the many obstacles involved in getting things In-n-Out, and offering a sober reminder that globalization is no teleological tale, are strongly encouraged: the multiple failed copies of Silicon Valley spread around the globe, or the many tropical crops that failed to thrive in the Californian Garden of Eden. The same example of the In-N-Out burger chain also suggests how standardized things, in this case fast- food, can retain their local identity and have troubles in getting out of the West. > > What travels attached to those things? Identities, skills, politics, markets, all contribute to make them thick things good to think with for scholars haunted by what globalization historically means. By calling for contributions from historians of science and technology, historians of the West, world historians, environmental historians, and Science and Technology Studies scholars, we want to establish the crucial place of California in globalization narratives and better understand the making of California. > > Paper proposals should be about 300 words, accompanied by a short author bio. The deadline for consideration is April 20. Successful proposals will be announced by May 15. In order to make for productive working sessions, paper prototypes (powerpoints accepted) will be pre-circulated. These should be detailed enough to present the author’s argument and materials, but also open and experimental to engage discussion. Paper prototypes are due on July 10. > > Travel and lodging expenses in Berkeley will be covered by the organizers. > A follow-up to the Berkeley event will take place at Drexel University in Philadelphia in 2014 to prepare a collective volume for publication. Travel and lodging expenses will also be provided. > > Please send proposals to all of the conference organizers Tiago Saraiva tsaraiva(a)drexel.edu, Cathryn Carson clcarson(a)berkeley.edu, Massimo Mazzotti mazzotti(a)berkeley.edu > > Tiago Saraiva, > Department of History and Politics > Drexel University > 3250-60 Chestnut Street - Suite 3025 > Philadelphia, PA 19104 > Phone: (215) 895-2463 > Fax: (215) 895-6614 > Email: tsaraiva(a)drexel.edu

hist of tech orgs planning party

The Museum of Art and Digital Entertainment (MADE) - http://www.themade.org - based here in downtown Oakland [610 16th St.; Suite 230; 510-788-5702] and a group of other Bay Area technology history museums/archives/etc. are rounding up fellow travelers for a benefit party sometime this month. Do any Sudo folk have connections with MADE? Is there interest in trying to connect with these guys for the party? Any objections to finding a time to use the common space? > From: Raoul Duke <raould(a)gmail.com> > Subject: Re: [The-MADE] how about a multi bay area 501(c)(3) party? > Date: April 9, 2013 3:17:29 PM PDT > To: the-made-discussion(a)googlegroups.com > Reply-To: the-made-discussion(a)googlegroups.com > > ok i'm emailing around some of them to see what they think, if it > sounds like something they'd like to do. if people on this list > already know people at any of the places listed below, or other such > places, please ping them as well? > > * the MADE oh wait > * stanford collection (you-all know them already, some are on this list, yes?) > * videogame history museum > * mv computer history museum > * sv igda (a little bit of a stretch, but they are nice and i've > tabled @ their events, and emailed them about this to see what they > think) > * folks who bring stuff to the California Extreme shows > * others? beuller? > > of course one important part would be to get sponsors! who knows of > good largesse? > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The MADE Discussion" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to the-made-discussion+unsubscribe(a)googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > > Begin forwarded message: > From: Alex Handy <alex(a)themade.org> > Subject: Re: [The-MADE] how about a multi bay area 501(c)(3) party? > Date: April 9, 2013 3:05:00 PM PDT > To: "the-made-discussion(a)googlegroups.com" <the-made-discussion(a)googlegroups.com> > Reply-To: the-made-discussion(a)googlegroups.com > > Works for me.

Making Club Maté at Sudo Room for Sudo-Profit: A Business Plan

by Max Klein

Club Mate[1] is a carbonated tea drink which is hugely popular amongst European Hackers. I thought about importing it, but that would imply $3/bottle[2], which would leave us with slim profit margins. Let's try and make 10% of sudoroom's budget through profits. I am committing up to $300 in funding to this, in an attempt to make 100 bottles as a proof of concept. I need your assistance on any of the following sub-points. Accept to do the following or provide input on the wiki[3] and I'll write you a cheque as needed: ==Business Plan== Initial Funding: up to $300 Target Sales: $200 - $300 1. Make it. 1. Buy sufficient raw mate 1. for 50L ~ 100 bottles 1. Assuming 500ml bottles 2. We could also use 333ml bottles 2. Brew it 1. Will we need a vat? 1. Do we have a vat? 2. Can a metal worker at sudo make us a vat 3. Spice it if necessary 1. Following this guide[4] maybe 2. Or allow adventurous sudoer to blaze trail 4. Carbonate it 1. Bobby, David Wild's roommate does this 1. Ask him nicely 2. Pay him 2. Buy a soda-stream 5. Transport it too bottler 2. Bottle It. 1. Use as many recycled bottles as possible 1. Put call out for more bottles 1. Pay a homeless person worst comes to worse 2. Use the sudo capping machine 1. I believe its in the closet 3. Labelling 1. 2. Rock paper scissors can do this 4. Transport it to storage 3. Store it 1. We might be able to use the sudo closet 1. Does it require refrigerated storage? 2. Do we have a refrigerator 1. Find one or many on CL Free 4. Sell it. 1. Target price $2-3/bottle depending on investment figures 2. Always at sudo, but also at specialized events 3. At Oakland Nights live 4. At an events night fundraiser 1. Sober 1. Games tournament 2. Debate 3. Hackathon 2. Mix it with alcohol 1. At a sudorave. 2. One of the planned Movie Nights 5. At art murmur. 1. Have this ready by May 3rd. If there are there any other members from other Hackerspace that you think would be useful, please forward this email.
